These Indians may be accommodated by the arrangements in contemplation, not only to their own satisfaction, but under circumstances promising the greatest permanent advantages to the United States, and separating them from all inducements and even the possibility of entering the British service.
"Of course such inducements should increase the value," confirmed Mr. Vedder gravely, and he proceeded to hold another colloquy with the twinkling-eyed tenor. Amarilly went home for the surplice and received therefor the sum of one dollar, which swelled the Jenkins's purse perceptibly. And here began the mundane career of the minister's surplice.
If with these hopes and additional inducements you, Sancho, please to return to my service, well and good; but to suppose that I am going to disturb or unhinge the ancient usage of knight-errantry, is all nonsense.
War with the French and Indians had been so constant previous to the peace of 1763, that a large proportion of the young men of New England had seen service in the "provincial regiments." To those who had held commissions the inducements contained in Lawrence's proclamations were especially attractive.
Solitary and selfish from position, men of naturally generous temper and good disposition, feel their hearts contract and shrivel within them. Surrounded by a sordid and selfish crew, they find no objects for sympathy, no inducements for the increase or the preservation of knowledge, no animating impulse to lead them forward in a good cause.
My father fights cocks and dogs, rides to hounds, and, I grieve to say, drinks hard, like all our Welsh squires." I was surprised at Ms frank statement. My mother watched him curiously, with those attentive blue eyes, as my father returned; "Of a certainty, thou dost not add to my inducements to visit Wyncote. I should, I fear, be sadly out of place."
"What inducement has he?" "That's the way with all you religious people. It's all a business of inducements. Cannot a man seek after righteousness for righteousness' sake?" There was a pause. The fair man answered, with a kind of vocal padding, "But you see inducement when I said inducement," to gain time. And then the hunchback came to his rescue and inserted a question.
There's a particular place that has other inducements." He just hesitated. "Where is it?" "Oh quite out of your way. You'd never have time." "But I tell you I'd go anywhere. Don't you believe it?" "Yes, for once or twice. But you'd soon see it wouldn't do for you." He smoked and considered; seemed to stretch himself a little and, with his legs out, surrender himself comfortably.
The free competition of European traders, however introduces two powerful inducements to exertion. Spirits or opium is a temptation too strong for most savages to resist, and to obtain these he will sell whatever he has, and will work to get more. Another temptation he cannot resist, is goods on credit.
The differences between this day and Enoch's day are merely accidental and not essential. There were the same inducements and temptations to evil then as now. There were scoffers and cavillers then as now.
